Does anyone know anything at all about the Tories in the shadow cabinet? Try our quiz

It’s been a bit of a struggle for the Conservatives to capture much attention since last year’s election – but that could change later today.

Leader Kemi Badenoch is reshuffling her shadow cabinet after Edward Argar, who was shadowing Health Secretary Wes Streeting, announced he was stepping down for health reasons.

There’s been a bit of buzz around the fact Sir James Cleverly will be returning to a front bench role after he dramatically lost a spot in the final two of the Tory leadership race last year.

But with Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggesting Reform are the real opposition, and with the party consistently third in the polls, we wanted to check just how well people know the current shadow cabinet.
